Good call, Kelvin. The "unauthorized" signal helps communication in this sitch.

Although pointing down to the floor, or putting down two fingers, to indicate a two-point attempt is not authorized, I have been told to use it by assignors at the HS, college, and pro levels. Personally, I feel that it lets the table, or the coach, or my partner(s) know that I definitely saw it. That way, when the touchdown signal does
not go up, the coach isn't screaming for a 3.

Something that no one has brought up yet; how do you all feel about blowing the whistle, stopping the game, and getting the score corrected assuming you notice the discrepancy right away?

This is part of my pre-game. I tell my partner that if we have to correct an OOB situation, or if something really unusual happens, we will get together and talk about what happened. However, if I signal a successful 3, and you
know with 100% certainty that it was a 2, then you blow the whistle
immediately, signal and state to the table "Two point shot!", and then put the ball back in and let's go. No discussion.
I think that's an efficient and effective way of dealing with that. I've only had to do it once, myself, fortunately.
